012: Nutrition Made Easy – Basic Math for Better Health and Your Dream Physique

Nutrition information is abundant and can be overwhelming. It is impossible to go to a supermarket, restaurant, or fitness website without being bombarded with information about calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and a bunch of different numbers and percentages. But if you don’t understand the basics of calories, macronutrients and micronutrients, these numbers are relatively meaningless.

Fortunately, a basic understanding of nutrition math isn’t complicated. In this episode, we will cover the basics of calories, macros, micros, determining your basal metabolic rate, daily caloric needs, and figuring out a plan to help you reach your health and fitness goals. I will also share the tools and strategies I have used to successfully burn fat and gain muscle.
